Oh my yes... the builds on Storm are epic. I'm a big fan of In-sync, aka Lee Purkis', productions. Back in the early 90s he ran a great label called 10th Planet which featured a half-dozen or so releases all In-sync related with the best being the Android Architecture album. Lee also released a nice record on the Plink Plonk label under the name MASP and was co-producer for the excellent Joe Louis End of the Beginning album on Fragmented and Back to the Beginning 12" on Relief. Rumor has it (according to discogs.com) that the music on those Joe Louis releases was taken from a DAT given to Joe Lewis when he was in the UK in 1995 by Jamie Read. The DAT contained music made during a period when Read was recording at the studios of 10th Planet with Lee Purkis, Chris Hartley and David Manuel (the 3 of whom ran 10th Planet and recorded as Insync vs. Mysteron). Read was keen to have his music released on Relief, a label with cult status in the underground UK scene. He gave the DAT, which contained music that had been worked on by all four aforementioned artists, to Joe Lewis for the purpose of giving to Relief as potential material for the label. Some time later these tracks appeared on Relief as a Joe Louis release, with no credit to the people who actually produced them. 10 years later (2005) Peacefrog Records in the UK inadvertently released a further batch of tracks from the DAT on a 12" entitled "He's Back" and an album entitled "The Return Of Joe Lewis", which was released on both vinyl and CD. Anybody know what Lee Purkis is up to these days? Also, any comments on the recent Joe Lewis releases on Peacefrog? are they like the Jamie Reid or Insync releases? it's surprising to hear that Peacefrog and/or Joe Lewis is releasing another artists work and not giving any credit to the original producers. For some Frank De Wulf relevance, just last week i took for a spin the Frank De Wulf remixes of The Orb's Blue Room, The Shamen's L.S.I., and Model500's The Flow.
